So Mike u like the banana hobby setup besides retracts. Im glad to hear because that price would def fit in my budget. I was just wondering because i get mixed reviews of BH. I hear their electronics aren't up to par and customer service isnt that reliable. Did u immediately change the retracts?

The stock retracts were swapped after about he 5th flight. I notice a lot of slop developing in the nose gear. So far everything else is holding up very well.

got a chance to fire up my twin 68 rclander dps fans on 4s. Here's what I got:

115amps
1650 watts
Temp of metal fan and housing stay at 121 F no more then that.
I was using the nano 40-90c 2 pack parrallel 4000mah each. It was the first run on those batteries.
But the 10G wires are pretty warm 150F

Figures as soon as I leave home for vacation the weather get a bunch better at home. Maybe it will hold up till I get back. I would like to get some more video of the A-10 now that's it's dialed in.

Ok thanks Brandon! I though that I had to give it some extra power. So it doesn't drain Rx power. Gladed I ask!
Thx

If you actually put a multi-meter across the black/red outputs of it you will see a momentary 5v or so (RX power) when the retracts are activated, for a second or so, then it's stops and turns off. kind of like the smoke activation module that came with the other LX Jets like the Mig-29 and the F-22

theoretically if you hooked a smoke pod to it and activated the retract channel it would set it off for smoke trail.....

On the other A-10 thread you said the leading edge slat pieces got ripped off on take off ? I have not installed mine yet. What are they for ? Are they just for looks ? How did you glue them ? Do they mount flush to the wing ?

Mike is correct.....they are there for low speed stall prevention, and on this plane are not really needed...there for more scale appearance than anything else.

I had the glued on with foam safe CA....but apparently not enough...lol

Great thread. All A-10 and no BS. I'll post photos of my progress. I have the e-flight retracts (not installed yet) but I ordered some 514s just to compare the two. I'm still looking for struts and matching paint to touch up the fuse and wing.
